It was immensely helpful to have such a wider perspective on the topic. There were many aspects that was quite new to me. Earlier I had the fear of learning harder topics but this course gave me confidence to try a totally different way of looking into problems and simultaneously grasping harder items. Thank you.

The course has changed my mentality. It isn't so focus on the act of learning itself, but instead give useful tips to less procrastinate, be more efficient, how to retain information better etc.

It is well structured, and I think that it is more impactful than watching bunch a self improvment videos on Youtube :)

This is the best MOOC of the world not of coursera only. I actually improved my CGPA and my understanding of the stuff I study through this MOOC. Both the trainers are the best in the field. This course is a must for every learner of any age group on this planet. I cannot thankyou guys enough. Love from Pakistan.

It was very fortunate that i found this course, im very thankful for both the instructors and their team. Its very much valuable information regarding how our brain works that i got to know from this course and i have started to share the knowledge and implement it with people. Thank you all very very much.....

Our brain doesnt come with instruction manual. But this course gives an insight of how brain works and what techniques you can use to trick procrastination. I am implementing the techniques in these courses and I feel a lot happy with life now. Its worth the effort listening to these lectures. Highly recommended.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity of learning one of the most beautiful subjects I have come to know: Learning How to Learn. Barbra Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski are not only great scientists and explores, but have the gift to teach and reach into the hearts of those who truly search for their guidance.

Incredible, made me actually start studying other things and do work over the summer rather than being lazy and just sitting around all day. Would recommend to anyone struggling with procrastination and other problems along those lines. Really open your view on learning and is incredibly helpful and motivational!

This course really helped me to analyse myself. Now I can master my tough subjects. It has highlighted all small details which I missed while learning. Focused & diffused modes are important & I implemented the pomodoro technique including other advises in my learning process. I recommend this course to everyone.

This is information everyone needs to know. I used to feel so much frustration, doubt, and anxiety when I would try to learn something new. Now, I realize, it wasn't because I was stupid or slow, but that I wasn't studying in a way that helped my brain grasp new material.

Thank you so much for making this course.

This course is really fun, the material is packaged in an effective way of learning. Prof. Barb Oakley's presentation of learning materials is easy to understand. thanks prof Barb Oakley and Terry Sejnowski. they are really talented teachers, maybe I need to learn more with them because learning with them is fun

Very interesting, all claims are based in research. The lessons are short and focused. Help me broaden my awareness about the different learning styles. Now I accept that I'm a slow learner and that can actually be an advantage in some situations. The learning techniques are usually easy to understand and apply.

Course was awesome and I finished the course in a short time because in every video mentors used teach new things and I was interested in new things and the mentors are awesome they teach in better way even though I am not a native English speaker I still understood them.

THANK YOU Barbara Mam and Dr. Terry Sir

A very informative and excellently presented course. The content presented in this course is immensely useful for not only students but also for life-long learners like myself (I’m 64 y.o.), l wish I’d had this knowledge when I was a student. Thank you very much Barbara, Terrence, and the Team and also Coursera.

Best course I have taken on Coursera. Very deep concepts explained so well and in a manner such that anyone can understand so easily. Also, the optional interviews included are so inspiring and tells us many other things that we can apply in our lives to make it better and understand any concept in a better way.

Before reviewing this course, i thought it won't help me a lot, i have already got my University degree with a high grade " Medical college". but after getting this course, i found new valuable techniques to study more efficiently and it helped me way beyond what i have expected .

thanks for this precious course.

Really makes the difference for those who need to change their minds about what can they learn or achieve. Makes you understand with simple words how your brain actually works and what can you do to get the most out of it, also gives you the topics so you can continue learn about the techniques of your interest.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken on Coursera. It's not only about learning the methods, tips to learn and study better but it's also a inspiration for learners who are not confident on their learning ability. I am so glad that I have chosen to take this course prior to my master's study program!!!

I didn't realize how much progress we have made (as a human race) about understanding the brain. This course really takes a lot of that information and make it into a practical usable way to learn, understand, and grow. Thank you for helping me understand that there are better ways to learn, retain, and apply.

The best course for all who want to learn new things. It helped me to figure out where I was doing wrong and how can I use my brain to learn new things in the best way. This helps even if you are not in love with the subject you are learning. The presentation of the course is amazing, peer assignments are great.

Great course, delivered in an original, fun and easy to grasp way

Helped me better connect the dots related to activities from my daily routine, understand what I'm doing wrong and how could it be better

It certainly imporved my daily performance, although I did't even take it from a student learning point ot view

I was always giving up on tougher subjects when I lost a flair for them. This course has taught me how to tackle tough subjects and also conquer them successfully. It has helped me not just in my e-course completion rates, but also helped me climb the career ladder faster. Thanks to Barbara Oakley and Terence.

Lighthouse in my life. (and way of learning) If possible great to have a traditional Chinese translation, instead of simplified Chinese. There is a big gap between the two types of Chinese for Mandarin / Chinese learners worldwide. (HK, Singapore, Taiwan... etc) Sometimes it could make misunderstanding for me.

This was one of the best material that I have study. It has been very helpful for me to go through to this material. Thank you for the effort to make this course available. Unfortunately, I am going through a lot of financial issues now since I recently loss my job and I am not able to purchase the certificate.

This is really a great course to learn how to learn. It is very powerful and helpful course for individuals, leaders, teachers, parents and students. Various concepts of brain working and how we store the information for short term and long term memories. Detailing in technique to improve your ability to learn.

As someone who did not go to college immediately after high school, I found this course to be an excellent refresher and teacher on effective learning. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, and will likely adopt some of the methodologies from this course into my work as a training coordinator. Thank you!
